This book was much like the others, having an ebb and flow of activities that went from mundane shore duty to combat ops that had me completely stressing! It was a great story and continuation of the series. But I have to say the way the story ended in this book was super wild! Something happened that was very unexpected and it led our hero into a situation that is sure to make the next book a phenomenal and trippy story!

I enjoyed this book immensely and still want more of the story, though I wonder how much more can Kloos spread this along? Humans have been fighting this incredibly tough enemy for years and are barely hanging on, but every story continues to bring hope that they can somehow survive. The story has lots of phases and some very telling and emotional insights into the characters. Things are evolving in this series and the war is wearing on everyone. Yet the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, possibly leading to extintion of Earth doesn't win. It's really easy to put yourself into the main characters' shoes and imagine what you might do when faced with such choices. Great book!

Book five of the series had me going back and forth in my emotions, as I'm sure Kloos intended. It starts with a little more character-building and future setting, then gets into full scale military war mode with an assault that would be the largest humans ever undertake. It goes back and forth, and it ends leaving room for the next book too. I found this one a fantastic read and story, full of intense action and drama. I'm hooked on this series!

Excellent story that involves a new dimension in this book. Our main character continues to evolve and in many ways is becoming more human and in touch with those around him. Yet the military scifi action continues after a brief but slow beginning. However, I think the opening is necessary to set the stage of what's to come and devlop our characters a bit. I liked it and cannot wait to hop into the next book!
